Oh yeagh, he has this DVD out (he didn't make it, his just sells it) made by this woman, I forget her name. Talking about the Evils of Harry Potter. Forget about all the false facts about the book and you still have the misinterpretations (sp?) of every line.

Y'know, I've only read the first two books in the series, so I'd never read the name nor seen the character before, but the first time I saw your username and avatar, somehow I knew it had to be a Harry Potter reference.

Heh, yeah. The name first apeeared in the fifth book so anything before that wouldn't really tell anything about the character. Though the last name was mentioned in the fourth book once.

A lot of the names in the series are pretty strange (or atleast they seem that way to me), so that might help too.

Strangely, I don't think I've ever heard a "Darwinist" in real life say that one species "came from" another, or mention "absolutely overwhelming" scientific evidence without actually citing any, or offer threats instead of logical debate when criticized by a disbeliever, or speak of dinosaurs as having "disappeared" due to a giant comet and then immediately afterwards claim that birds "came from" them.

Ms. Henn is scary. Li'l Susy is much scarier.

I don't recall any mention whatsoever of the theory of evolution in public school (California) before high school biology class, except for a very brief mention towards the beginning of a junior high class in ancient world history. Where the heck is Susy going to school?

I don't see why people "won't pay attention to what God says" if they believe that "we come from apes." Why would acceptance of the theory of evolution be inconsistent with faith in the saving grace of Christ? How do the two ideas have anything to do with each other?

There seems to be a good deal of "age-ism" in this tract (presumably because it's targetted at very young readers). Ms. Henn seems to be mean not only because she's a Darwinist, but also because she's old. There are also several references to the "old" Devil, who tries to keep kids out of heaven. Rather interesting, especially since Mr. Chick is getting up there in the years himself.

Interesting. In this one she says that no liar will enter heaven. So what if I live a righteous life, and have faith in Christ, but right before I die, I say "I will not enter heaven."

If God lets me into heaven, then my last words were a lie, so a liar has entered heaven. But if I am barred from heaven, then my last words were true, which means I should be allowed into heaven. What's up with that, huh?

Or would I automatically be cast into the lake of fire for daring to create a scriptural paradox?

Those words would be an error, Barnabas, not a lie. And it would be very prideful to just assume you were going to heaven the way Susie does. You wouldn't want to wind up like li'l Susie would you? All pithed and possessed looking? If she's her grandpa's sister is she her grandaunt too?

Hey, I actually saw the Chick Publications office (just passing by; I didn't have time to go in) the other day when I was visiting my parents in southern California! It's just a few blocks away from the office complex where my dad used to work. A little storefront with a rather modest sign saying "Chick Publications" above it.

Even though both of them are mainly the same, but I think Jack actually has more to argue with in his comics than the Truth for Youth tones. Just try looking at some of the comic on harry potter, over all not a very good argument.

Oh, all three. It depends on who's reading. They piss me off. They convert some of my friends, and that scares me.

I think the fear might be one of the factors that helps convert. Fear helped the catholic church in the past, no reason why it can't help a bunch of cheaply made cartoons.

They're actually well drawn. Assuming this guy has a family and a day job four a year is probably doing pretty good.

The ones that are well drawn are done by a minister named Fred Carter (that is to say, the artwork. Content is still supplied by Chick , I believe).
